How to Use a Glucometer to Measure
Your Blood Glucose?

If you need to monitor your blood glucose levels daily, knowing how to use a glucometer correctly is key to avoiding episodes of hyperglycemia (high glucose levels) or hypoglycemia (low glucose levels). In this article, we explain what a glucometer is, when to use it, and how to use it step by step.

What is a GLUCOMETER?

A glucometer is a device used to measure blood glucose levels and monitor daily blood sugar levels in people diagnosed with diabetes, as they need to keep their blood glucose levels as close to normal as possible.

When should you use a glucometer?

The frequency of testing usually depends on the type of diabetes and the treatment prescribed.

It is recommended to measure your blood glucose level 4 to 10 times a day if you have:

  • Type 1 diabetes
    • Before meals and snacks
    • Before and after exercise
    • Before bed
    • At night (sometimes)
    • More often if you are sick
    • More often if you change your daily routine
    • More often if you start a new medication
  • Type 2 diabetes

    If you take insulin to control type 2 diabetes, it’s recommended that you test your blood glucose several times a day (before meals and at bedtime), depending on the type and amount of insulin you use.

How does it work?

Glucose meters contain lancets (for collecting the blood sample) and test strips (which come into contact with the blood to determine the glucose level).

How is it used?

  1. Wash and dry your hands thoroughly (food and other substances can cause inaccurate readings).
  2. Insert a test strip into the glucometer.
  3. Prick the side of your fingertip with the needle (lancet) that comes with the test kit.
  4. Keep your finger in contact with the tip of the strip to obtain a sufficient blood sample.
  5. Within a few seconds, the glucometer will display your blood glucose level on the screen.
